Husqvarna invited us out to Milestone MX in Riverside, California, this week to get a first ride on their all new Rockstar Factory Edition FC 450. We were introduced to Husky’s new factory edition in LA a few weeks ago, but this time we got to ride it.

With David Pingree out fighting fires in Southern California, our own senior sales rep, Pete Martini, geared up and did the honors of getting the first impression of the bike.

Pete has been riding the 2017 and 2018 FC 450 as his personal bike, so he is a great reference point on how the 2018 Husqvarna Rockstar Factory Edition FC 450. You can read the official press release on the bike here. Check out the video above to see the highlights of the new bike and what Pete thought about it.
